In this blog, we’ll explain what dental implants are, who they’re for, and why they’ve become one of the most trusted dental treatments in Australia — especially right here in Brunswick.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials like titanium. They are surgically inserted into your jawbone, where they act as a sturdy base for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Once healed, dental implants function just like natural teeth — allowing you to chew, speak, and smile without worry.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
There are plenty of options for replacing missing teeth — including bridges and dentures — but dental implants are often the most stable and long-lasting solution. Here’s why:
✔ Natural Look and Feel
Implants closely mimic the appearance and function of real teeth. You can smile and eat with confidence.
✔ Long-Term Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last 10–20 years or even longer, making them a great long-term investment.
✔ Improved Speech and Eating
Unlike dentures, implants don’t slip or shift, which means you can speak clearly and enjoy your favourite meals without discomfort.
✔ Bone Health
Implants stimulate your jawbone and prevent bone loss, which is a common issue after tooth loss.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
If you’re generally healthy, have good oral hygiene, and enough jawbone to support an implant, you’re likely a good candidate. Smokers or people with certain health conditions may need to discuss options with their dentist.
At Brunswick Dental Clinic, we offer a comprehensive consultation to assess your suitability and create a tailored treatment plan.
What’s the Process Like?
Getting a dental implant is usually completed over a few months and involves several steps:
Consultation and Imaging – Your dentist will examine your mouth and take scans (like 3D imaging or X-rays).
Implant Placement – The implant is placed into your jawbone under local anaesthetic. Healing takes a few months.
Abutment and Crown – Once healed, a connector (abutment) and crown are attached to complete the process.
While the journey may take some time, most patients find the results well worth the wait.
Real-Life Example: Brunswick Patient Story
One of our local patients, Tom from Brunswick East, lost a molar after a cycling accident. He initially considered a removable denture but wanted something more permanent. After a full consultation at Brunswick Dental Clinic, he chose a dental implant.
Today, Tom says he forgets which tooth was replaced — that’s how natural it feels. “It looks like my own tooth and lets me eat steak again,” he says.
Cost of Dental Implants in Australia
In Australia, dental implants generally cost between $3,000 and $6,500 per implant, depending on the complexity of the case, location, and whether bone grafting is required.
At our Brunswick clinic, we provide transparent pricing and flexible payment plans to help make dental implants more accessible.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Looking after your implant is just like caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend your dental check-ups. Avoiding tobacco and reducing sugar can also help your implants last longer.
